2004
When a small dairy farm called Patch of Heaven is about to be sold to pay its debts, three very different cows set out to collect the reward on a notorious cattle rustler. A proud show cow, a prim English cow, and a sweet, tone-deaf one have to learn to work together along the way.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
Lightweight but cheerful: three mismatched cows put aside their quarrels to save the little farm that gave them a home. A modest entry, more fun than formative.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
Mild bodily humor and cartoon slapstick; nothing else of note.
